You knock it out of the park EVERY time!

Your videos have such a unique and enjoyable blend of technique and humor. Really great stuff!

Dear Old Tony This is the first video of yours I have ever watched Being completely unaware of your state of the art, world class dad joke shenanigans You have no idea how much 2:25 onwards left me dumbfounded for solid 15 minutes Thanks-ish I suppose

You know you have a good friend when you mention This Old Tony's KZfaq and they love it too

I now measure in cats

👏👏👏

the wooden sticks made me think harder than they should

I went through my cats litter tray and made a clamp with the contents, it was sh!t though.

Good to see you got him on the tools from a young age. A bit of welding a little grinding never hurt anyone. I have been trying to get my own cat interested for a while now too.

not gonna lie, the kid's design looks more efficient

I am not gonna lie, that kid Will take over your audience once he learns to edit and upload content

As a dad, that ending part had me crackin up!!!! Hahahahaha! Great video man

These vids always make me chuckle... the ending of this one had me laughing loud enough that i was asked to be quiet during sermon...

I've heard of sweating bullets, but never casings... Fascinating

That wet wooden dowel trick is such a forgotten art!

That turned out so beautiful! Yours was good too, Tony.

I can normally figure out your little metal cutting tricks but that dowel edit took me longer than I'd like to admit... Awesome.

I'm not ashamed to say.... This one made me cry a little bit...

Always a good laugh with TOT. Even when you have watched the same video three times already. Thanks for sharing

You work so hard you sweat bullets, you are a man of many talents.

You should do more of these collabs. An outside perspective brings more depth to subjects.

A well thought out and professionally made design. Made easily and with no expensive tools. Please thank your son for me.

TOT must be an amazing dad. For one, his kids get to work in the shop from time to time. Also he makes them stuff sometimes. And just from the Dad jokes he makes he must be the most dadest dad ever.

I love your sense of humor, especially making ball bearings out of cat droppings. Made me belly laugh and I don't do that often enough. Thanks

Revealing the secrets of CAM?!? (cat assisted manufacturing),... the SME won’t be pleased

Hey Tony, been watching your videos for a while now, and between you, Jody and Mr. Booth, I went ahead and taught myself TIG welding and bought a cheap little lathe, watched all you guys' videos over the past 5 years, thinking I'd just use the skills to make stuff for myself and maybe family members. Turns out there's nobody around here that weld aluminum or manually turn metal, so my cheap welder and chinese import lathe have made their investments back many times already, although pretty much all of it has gone back into tooling and precision measuring equipment, and I love doing it to relax, everything about it is so meditative and a nice change from the attitude I'm used to having to have at work (at work I have to make sure things are done FAST, with welding and machining I can calm down and make sure it's done precisely). Having spent a lot more now on precision measuring devices, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with what cheap import machines are capable of these days. I did split my first 4-jaw chuck in half from overtorqueing (I deserve a free Abom Torque shirt) it but with their prices I guess you can't always get the best :P I do have an old Starrett depth gauge from my visit to New Hampshire last year, missing the 2-4" range, but for how little of my work is imperial it doesn't matter too much. I'm European so I hardly ever take them out except to just admire them. Thank you for all you've been able to impart in terms of knowledge, I hope you keep it up for many years to come. Next I'll have to get myself a milling machine, when the hobby budget allows for it. I miss the video of you building the hydraulic press, I'm all for curating your video history but I really loved watching that one :(

I wish my dad was as good at expressing love and affection and making time when we were younger as you are

Best part of the video your son in the shop goggles just interested in what dad's doing and hangin out! The work holding bit was nice too

We all have our vices in life, but the boys seem a little young to be developing them!

Would my greyhound make high speed steel?

Ok Old Tony, I’ve been seen your videos for a week and today I’ve cancelled my Netflix, because on your videos there’s Drama, Comedy, Sci-fy and romance and by the way, it’s free!

Well done. You and the dazzling young man teach and entertain with the very best… regardless of category.

Sharing the wooden dowel wedge trick with the world seems nothing short of irresponsible.

Your sense of humour is just as good as your abilities. Amazingly put together. Thanks This Old Tony

LOL all day. Went to the store afterwards with the wife and thinking about your antics, burst into laughter in the middle of the woman's underwear section. I didn't even try to explain to the crowd, just left the area.

As the 'Great One' [Milton Burle] said, 'you can't compete with kids or pets'. But thanks for trying. Since my NDE, I'm a lot humbler and each day I'm just happy to wake up on this side of the grass to the light of a new day, the gift of life for one more try at a day on earth. Kids and pets are just what one needs after NDE leaves you penniless and out of useful tasks each day. My Dad worked for Grumman and worked at age 19 on the F4F and other carrier planes that he would later repair on board the CA-20 during WW2 and saw many fine machinists reduced to sweeping the floor, only because of the distrust their parentage blessed them with[they were German]. Happily today, CAD is doing good work in the field, but I'm now disabled with vertigo and can't risk going near any man[or woman]-eating machine.

Instant classic 👌👌 great job on the vise but your jokes were purfect😂😂😂

Perhaps your best work,the dialogue was outstanding!THANKS!!!

Love watching your projects come together complete with your humor and your assistants.

Flipping brilliant! Your son is flipping brilliant!

I've had a seriously sh*tty and long day at work, I've also felt ill from waking up (I feel seriously hungover, Which I wouldn't mind so much if I'd actually been drunk in the last 4 years. :( ). So because of all that I've been so very close to physically ripping customers heads off since clocking in this morning. I've come home really late (Still feeling moody as hell) and see that you've uploaded a video. Half thought I couldn't be bothered to watch this tonight, But did anyway........... I'm glad I changed my mind. I'm not saying that this one video's turned my psychological view of the world into a warm fluffy panorama of unicorns, Bunny rabbits and rainbows........ But I don't quite feel like I should skin my boss alive, then rolling him down a hill in a barrel full of broken glass, Razor wire and salt anymore, So that's a positive thing...... Right? Anyway, Love the finished result, it looks very professional (Not that this surprises me of course, After all, It was you that made it. :) ). It's got that look of classic solidity that tooling USED to have. The kind of tool that (Hopefully in the VERY VERY distant future) will still be perfectly usable when you leave it to your son. Also, Have to say, This video was probably the funniest one of your's I've seen in quite a while (And that can't be easy due to how high you've set your own bar in the past), So thanks for taking the time to make them, And thanks for brightening my day.

I have a blacksmith cat too. Every time I make a loud noise he makes a bolt for the door.

This man robot is a legendary machinist! Got a big chuckle from the .223 cases hitting the ground 😅😂 Grrr8 video old fella

Still watching and loving these videos! Thanks for all the effort and sharing with us Tony!

Thanks for the Pro Tip for the left hand tap, does it also work for Allen keys? I only have the L - shaped ones, not the ┐ shaped ones that are mentioned in Ikeas hierographs..

Genius filmmaking and mesmerizing machining, as always.

That little boy has a real superhero for a father..not a make beleive..he and children under the influence of fathers like you gives our species a chance..a small chance..but a chance nevertheless..to Old Tony & his everlasting life..you both ROCKMAN😎

Superb work, funniest machinist, strongest kitten, most skilledest (YES it's a word!) kid.

A tip that I picked up from my old shop teacher is that you can just mount your cat directly in your tool holder and cut out the middle steps.

You are aware the rod diameter will get bigger when the kitten grows up?

TOT, brilliant, not a word said but so much learning, laughing, poetry in motion!! Thanks

Your sense of humor is the same as your knowledge of machining, mechanics, etc. LOVELY !

That's quite the machine gun, blowing the spent primers out consistently. Might make sure the firing pin isn't overtraveling.

Your kitten's adorable. Though I suspect that using it as a metal extruder and letting it roam your workshop might cause it to grow up to be a cyborg.

Old Tony, you definitely have a gift. Was mesmerized by your simple but effective machining skills and the little comic bits were, in the end, friggin' hilarious. Really enjoyed the video.

I love when people’s hands grow from the right place, and nature has not deprived them of a sense of humor. 👍👍👍

The announcement I keep hoping to hear: "Coming this summer! The first all-machining feature length film, 'This Old Tony'! Be prepared for time travel, metal cutting shenanigans, delightful plays on words, and projects guaranteed to entertain. Featuring an all-star cast of mills and lathes, both CNC and manual, and of course...Tony's hands. It's all in there, including cameos from his little shop helpers! Coming in October of this year! (No pineapples were hurt in the making of this film. Well, maybe one.)" Your video editing is good enough and your content is good enough that I'd pay for the DVD pre-release!

This old Tony...I'm tired of you film makers masquerading as DIY-home machinists; so stop it (please don't, it's one of the few pleasures I have that make life worth living).

My son and I really enjoy these videos.

I'm dying here! You are so clever on your Productions. Who would have ever thought Machining could be so much fun?

Always exceeds my highest expectations. The cat and your son did steal the spotlight but your editing is remarkable.

Love every second of your content Tony!! Keep up the great work my friend!!😊👊

This channel is always at it's best when your building "Thingies" - BRAVO!

Oh man!! Having a mounting post that swivels is BRILLIANT! That is a fantastic clamp. Nice job.

Ok.. first time watching one of your vids.. I thought the wood split was serious.. I was like.. wtf I think I sub

Classic TOT!

You know it is always fun and educational to watch your videos. Thanks for producing and sharing them. You have quite a talent.

This channel always gets a laugh or at least a smile. Good job Tony, you rock. Kids and cats help for sure.

Can you recommend the best type of cat for brass?

Oh Tony, if you are a handloader and have intentionally NOT made a reloading channel, I should thank you, you have done me a great service. Less time spent damaging my eyes by starring at my phone equals more time at the bench. Thanks for sharing only just enough addictive content for us to enjoy periodically.

No matter how hard a day, I always chuckle and gain something from your videos. Thank you Sir.

I really enjoy your videos, and this one is my favorite so far. Love the cat food and litter box bit and the end was genius. I appreciate your skills, talents, and sense of humor! This video deserves an award!

You win. Son trolling you at the end... priceless.

TOT you are truly amazing, I have no idea what you do for a living but I am always amazed at your editing, cinematography, comedy writing, drawing/drafting, cad design and machining skills..i mean by my calculations those are like 67 different hobbies you've mastered.

I can simply not believe that those wood pieces could shred that huge piece of metal !!! Truly impressive technique !!!!

This old tony has shown me so many great tips and tricks over the years, I would have never considered using wooden dowel pins as make shift steaks to split that steel so close to perfectly... will try that from now on.

400 likes 0 dislikes. Tony, you have cultivated a cult

Nobody on KZfaq makes me laugh & learn so much. You have a real talent and I look forward to every new video keep up the excellent work! That ending make me laugh so loud I almost woke up the Mrs at 4am. 😂

First I have to say I loved the build. Secondly I laughed when you were tapping in roll pins and the camera showed casings hitting the ground at your feet! Great content.

That's one tough cat 🐈 !! 🤣🤣🤣 Love the spray bottle trick and the clamp is awesome !! It just needs a couple of recesses for some jaws for grip !!

The chilli was for heat treatment. 👹🙀🙀

Because of you....I'm no longer a video lurker. Up until a few weeks ago I didn't watch much on KZfaq & definitely didn't think anything was worthy of me spending the time to comment on or even subscribe to (kind of a social media introvert you might say). Then I stumbled on one of yours & now think I've probably watched all of them. Great job on all aspects of your work, I enjoy watching & learning laughing with each one. If you're not a teacher, you should be. This is coming from the self-taught CEO (Chief Everything Officer) of a custom woodwork home-based business. I'm not sure how or why people spend all the time making these videos, but I'm pretty sure money's involved somehow. It's obvious that money isn't you main focus because you don't stop every 30 seconds to promote a sponsor; something which I feel taints the value of the information as well as kills the fun factor. Regardless of how it's done, I hope you make millions along the way. Cheers

Genius of the lathe... and the humor!! :) And great father! Thank you for make me laugh!! Best regards from Uruguay!!

Thanks for another great build and video, I'm sure hoping your son will follow in your footsteps, He will have a huge advantage with your expertise and years of tools acquired. Dream come true if he just will realize what he has..

Hands down the best editing work on YT.

I love your videos tony and the humor is priceless

Ok, I got the the tinglies when you applied the prussian blue and I wasn't expecting that today. So smooth!

No matter how bad of a day i've had. Your vids always lift my spirits. Thanks for doing what you do.

Entertaining, especially when the kid makes the "simple version". Two thumbs up!

Thanks! Your videos are like a dessert. I am an accountant who has never done any metal working. (using a hacksaw to cut aluminium does not qualify). But I save your videos as the last thing I watch on youtube before turning off my computer. They have a magical way of making me feel as if I have somehow done something great, or have become a better man. dont know why- but Thanks for that!

Man, I love your videos- a healthy balance of learning and humor

I get a kick out of all your videos, love your sense of humor, keep up the fantastic work.

Puzzling my fellow-residents: giggling madly in the lounge at 4 a.m. Thank you for brightening and enlightening our days.

Man alive, honestly the best chuckles of my day... Your content is great keep it up!

You almost had me with the wooden dowel trick.....like what kind of KZfaq magic is going on here!!!! I definitely subscribed!!!

Wow, I really don't speak English, but if I am entertained as a pure translator, these comments are. Thank you very much for what you have shown us, it has been very entertaining necessary to learn.

I wonder how big a part you could get out of a great Dane?

I gotta say your a genius when it comes to editing. You sir are one of the best creators out there. Really enjoy your videos and the way you present them. Bravo!

Watching ToT's videos after so many years is still a pleasure 😄

Eyyy Tony! I’ve been watching for a year or two at this point, you never fail to impress me between your humor and skill, top notch my dude. Keep the shop kitten pumping those parts out!
